Cant say I'm really shocked Fedor is the greatest HW ever but age and the game growing it was just a matter of time before this happened.

This will really shake up the HW rankings more than ever before.

I'm going to predict right now that we hear a lot of ridiculous russian mob theories flying around the internet.

Werdum just caught Fedor in a triangle?

In other news, hell has frozen over.

I was thinking he might lose to Overeem but definitely didn't expect this.

Will this cause Fedor to have to sign with Zuffa?

I thought this was reminiscent of Matt Serra clobbering GSP.

I'm glad for Werdum. He was disrespected the entire night. Not only by the promotion itself, but by the announcers as well. Even the freakin' ring announcer called his win a "stunning upset." And why do they keep calling a freakin' triangle choke an armbar!?

Oh god ..... NO!!! Don't start that!!!

arrrrrrrgh.

I'm dreading the headlines that are going to be coming out within hours from Dana White.

On the plus side, Fedor's pricetag just dropped quite a bit so the UFC being able to get him is *slightly* more likely. M-1 has kind of lost their bargaining chip considering Fedor has only 1 fight left.

Well sticking with tradition Fedor should be next in line for a shot at Overeems belt.

Seriously, would anybody like to say something about how great of a win this was for Werdum? I get that Fedor is a great fighter but we just witnesses relative history in MMA and nobody is talking about Werdum, only Fedor.

Jamming out to REM's "The End of the World as We Know It." And you know what, I do feel fine. It had to happen some day.

Well I did mediocre at best on this card

I dont know if this makes Werdum look really good or Fedor look overrated.

I may be tempted to put the winner of Carwin/Lesnar at the top of my hw rankings now.

I was very impressed by Werdum, I think this solidifies him as a TOP 10 fighter, I am truly eager to see where he'll go from here, truthfully I would like to see him back in the UFC.

One of the announcers mentioned that Werdum said he was watching video of Fedor's win(s) over Big Nog, and thought he spotted something that Fedor was doing wrong. This certainly suggests that he really did.

Simple he is now ranked #1 in the world....thats what happens when you beat a champion of Fedor's calibur.

Great win for him, but I'd expect anyone dumb enough to stick their head in between his legs to get tapped. Werdum has been dissed since his fights with Arlovski and Dos Santos, but he is the best bjj player in HW mma right now except for maybe Roger Gracie.

I don't know if he jumps to #1 but certainly top 4

Yeah, this.

If you take away the fact that it was Fedor and look at it as any other fight, it wasn't a very spectacular win.

It's great for Werdum, I'm sure he's on top of the world, but long-term I don't think the rankings are really going to shift a whole lot other than Fedor dropping and Werdum being recognized unanimously as a top 10. I think Fedor would still be an overwhelming favourite in a rematch.
